Available to hire
Hello, I’m Chrysoula Papanastasiou, a pattern designer and art instructor with a background in sociology. I split my time between Athens and Larissa, creating textile patterns, wood decorations, and visual arts projects that blend aesthetics with social insight. I enjoy teaching and collaborating with galleries and studios, and I’m passionate about guiding young artists as well as developing wearable and decor designs.
Through my teaching work and freelance design projects, I aim to make art accessible and meaningful, bringing thoughtful craft to collections like Vassia Kostara and DSL while continuing my studies in applied clinical sociology and art.
